Thoughts and observations about Modesto and Stanislaus County

The Chamber’s Pathways to Growth at the Monthly LCR Meeting

By Emerson Drake

I’ll expand on this discussion over the weekend but note the HUGE land grab around the Beckwith Dakota Triangle and the area next to Salida. This acreage is without a doubt some of the best farmland in the world. The area east of Modesto is PPP rated (piss poor pasture, this is actually the terminology used by farmers) so no problems there. Especially take note of the original size of the Beckwith Dakota triangle compared to their desired footprint. A special thanks to Katherine Borges for the picture.
